This fee was briefly an IPL record until Rishabh Pant was snaffled by Lucknow Super Giants later in the auction for ₹27 crore. Ajinkya Rahane (pictured) is KKR’s new captain. The 36-year-old has captained India, and has played for six different sides in the IPL including captaining two of them. He therefore becomes the first Indian to captain three different franchises and the fourth overall. Sri Lankans Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, and Australian Steve Smith have also skippered three IPL teams. RCB also have a new captain in Rajat Patidar, who is tasked with bringing RCB their first title. RCB did finish last season on a fine run of form. After losing seven of their first eight matches, they won their next six games to get into the play-offs, where they lost to Rajasthan Royals. The last time these teams met, KKR won by one run. Overall KKR have won this fixture 20 times to RCB’s 14. Here's how to watch every ball of the IPL 2025 match Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru from anywhere.
